Mandrake 9.0 provides a stripped-down version of IceWM (icewm-light) to
meet this need; perhaps Red Hat should follow suit. See
http://www.icewm.org. IceWM also runs on Solaris and other flavors of
Unix.
Ironically, IceWM is developed on Red Hat. The last appearance of IceWM on
an official Red Hat release was on the 7.1 Powertools CD.
